Baby Deathworm

Baby Deathworm is a juvenile Death Worm with 8 HP that mimics the burrowing and ambush tactics of its adult counterpart. Though smaller than the full-grown version, the Baby Deathworm is still a dangerous ambush predator that uses teleport movement to appear suddenly from underground, catching unprepared cats off guard.

The Baby Deathworm's teleport movement lets it bypass conventional positioning and appear adjacent to targets without traversing the intervening tiles. This makes distance-based defensive strategies less effective, as the worm can close any gap instantly. Its dash attack adds to its mobility, letting it strike and reposition in a single action.

Baby Deathworms are dangerous individually but become especially threatening in groups where multiple worms can teleport-ambush different cats simultaneously. Their 8 HP makes them reasonably fragile, so focused damage can eliminate them quickly once they surface. Area-of-effect abilities are particularly effective since multiple worms often cluster around the same target zone. Watch for them in encounters where the adult Death Worm is also present, as the baby versions may spawn as reinforcements.
